Chapter 824: Wen Siblings

s, falling asleep peacefully.In the evening, Lian Yi went to call people:"Are you ready""Almost done!""Having hot pot tonight, I have lamb rolls, wide noodles, dried vegetables, potatoes, sweet potato...Ripple took a break from copying scriptures, seeing the siblings of the Wen family was a good way to pass the time, so she had her guard invite them in.

Wen Zhaoming took his younger sister's hand and entered the main room. He saw Su Jia's eldest lady sitting in the seat of honor and immediately bowed respectfully:

"Young Master Wen Zhaoming has met Miss Su."

Little girl Wen Zhaoyue has met Miss Su.

Even Even performed a bow very well.

"Please sit down and talk. There's no need to be so formal."

R ripples smiled warmly and said.

"Not wanting to waste Miss's time, I'm here today to repay the debt for the medicine from last time. It took me a while to gather the funds, please forgive my tardiness."

Wen Zhao-ming didn't waste time and immediately took out a money pouch from his bosom and handed it to the guard, Hoa, standing beside him.

Lotus immediately glanced at her young mistress, receiving a nod before taking it. She opened the money bag and saw silver coins, but just three taels.

"Don't worry so much, Xiaoge. I'm not in a rush to use the money."

Ripple also saw the silver coins, and she knew the other party must have saved up for a long time. So she didn't refuse. The other party looked like someone with a strong sense of self-esteem.

"It's nothing for a lady, but to me it saved my sister's life. I must repay it."

Wen Shaoming said and then excused himself, obviously not wanting to stay longer or have any entanglement with her.

The ripples didn't hold the man back, but rather Su Wu had prepared a four-color gift box as a return present for him. Wen Zhao Ming wasn't comfortable with being drawn into unnecessary interaction with the woman. Ultimately, under his younger sister's pleading gaze, he accepted the gift box and repeatedly thanked Su Wu before leaving Su's manor.

Hu衛 Cuihua scratched her head and whispered to Lianyi:

"Madam, the four-color gift box you sent is worth five taels of silver. Returning that money is like not returning it at all; what's the point"

Lily reached out with her fan and tapped the guard's head, saying:

"Look more, think more, speak less. If you don't understand something, ask Lotus."

Then he went back to his room to copy scriptures.

Cuiflower was not convinced, so she quietly went to ask her best friend:

"Lotus, what do you mean by 'miss'"

"Don't you understand That's how we keep things going!"

Even the lotus flowers wouldn't want to acknowledge this person as their sister; they have such poor eyesight.

"You mean, Miss took a liking to..."

Before the other person could finish speaking, Hehua covered their mouth.

"Can't you speak with some sense The young lady is still in her mourning period! Are you trying to give certain people a handle on her"

"Got it!"

Cuifang nodded eagerly, pulling the other person's hand off her mouth.

The next day, after breakfast, Lian Yi called for Su Wu of Zhuang Tou.

Su Wu thought about it for a moment. He hadn't made any mistakes this time, so he walked into the main hall with his head held high and bowed to Lian Yi at the front, saying:

"Miss, what can I do for you"

There wasn't anything important. It was just that the Wen siblings came to the manor yesterday to return some silver, do you know them

The ripples asked casually.

"Miss, are you saying that the person from Wengjia Village, ten miles away from Zhuangzi"

Su Wu asked.

"Yes, I met him on my way to Zhuangzi's place. That young man was traveling to the county with his younger sister who had a cold, all alone without any elders around. I felt sorry for them and offered to help."

"The young lady was kindhearted, and the two siblings from Wēn's village were also pitiful."

Su Wu sighed and said.

"Tell me a story."

Ripples, fanning herself with a hand-held fan, clearly found the story of the two people very interesting.

The mother of the Wen siblings was an ordinary peasant woman from Wenjia Village. She was the second oldest child in her family, an honest and hardworking woman. Because she was in the middle, she wasn't as close to her elder or younger siblings, so she didn't receive as much favoritism. However, she never complained. She worked diligently and was very agreeable, making her a more desirable marriage prospect for the boys.

When she reached the appropriate age, her family elders started arranging matches for her. Unexpectedly, on her way home, she rescued a young boy who had fallen into the water. The boy was almost drowned, but Wen Erniang saved him by beating and slapping him while giving him artificial respiration. Everyone watching around witnessed this.

That boy had lost his innocence and could only return home with Wen Erniang. The elders of the Wen family asked him his name and address, but he shook his head and said that after falling into the water, he hit his head and couldn't remember anything. He only knew that his surname was Cen.

But that boy wasn't stupid either. He said he had skin-to-skin contact with Wen Erniang, and so many people saw it in public, Wen Erniang had to be responsible for him.

The elders in the Wen family could only grit their teeth and accept it. Besides, their second son was indeed at marriageable age. To get a husband for free without having to pay a dowry, this matter was decided.

The two of them had a simple wedding and started their life together. However, Mr. Cen was not in good health and couldn't do heavy work, so he was looked down upon by Wen Erniang's elders. Fortunately, Wen Erniang was capable and protected her husband everywhere, making their lives bearable.

But later, for some unknown reason, Cen Langjun's five-month-old child suddenly miscarried. Afterward, Wen Erniang and her family were separated from the Wen family and lived on their own.

Liàn Yī listened with relish and then chimed in:

"Could it be because of the miscarriage"

“Indeed, but the old couple said that Mr. Cen miscarried because he tripped and fell accidentally. However, according to their neighbors, it was Mr. Wen's younger brother who had an argument with his sister-in-law, then pushed Mr. Cen down, causing the miscarriage.

And this scene happened to be seen by Wen Erniang, who had returned home early. Especially when she learned that it was a formed female fetus that was lost, she beat her own younger brother.

At that time, the crying of Young Master Wen woke up the nearby villagers. But their house was tightly shut, so they didn't know what had happened. In the following days, every night they could hear Young Master Wen crying. Shortly after, Mr. and Mrs. Wen the Second parted ways and lived separately.

“Honest people generally don’t get angry, but when they do, it's especially frightening. I guess it's because she lost her beloved daughter. That younger brother pushed the blame onto Master Cen, which completely enraged Mrs. Wen. She attacked the younger brother, and that young Master Wen can't stay hidden in his parents' room all day.”

With a shaking hand, Lián Yī gently waved her fan as she speculated.

"Perhaps! In any case, after the two parted ways, Lord Cen spent half a year recuperating before he could barely walk and do some work. It wasn't until a year later that Wen Family’s eldest son arrived. Although he was a boy, the two loved him very much."

After that, Cen Langjun never became pregnant. Wen Erniang and the people in her family also drifted apart. After all, the other party had killed her eldest daughter and injured her husband's body. Having a son was already a blessing.

The Wen family also knew they were in the wrong, and they didn't dare to go near Wen Second Madam. Instead, they let the two of them live a peaceful life for two years.

Cen Langjun felt sorry for his wife, so he risked his life and became pregnant again. This time, fortune smiled upon him as he gave birth to a daughter. However, Cen Langjun's body was too depleted, and when the child was over a year old, he passed away.

Wen Erniang was very sad, but there were still two young children at home. Especially the eldest son, who was very sensible and could share a lot of her burden. This helped her get through the most difficult days.

As days became increasingly hopeful, misfortune befell Wen Er Lady once again. fresh""Whether it's fresh or not, you can go and see for yourself. The salesperson's attitude is also very bad. My eldest son came back earlier and complained to me that the food in the unit canteen...
